    A large ovarian tumor, identified as an arrhenoblastoma, was surgically removed from an aggressive Appaloosa mare. This equine tumor was linked to significant hormonal imbalances, specifically high testosterone levels.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Medicine
    • Equine Endocrinology
    • Surgical Oncology

    Background:

    • Ovarian neoplasms are uncommon in mares but can cause significant health and behavioral issues.
    • Arrhenoblastomas are rare ovarian tumors that arise from sex cord-stromal cells.

    Observation:

    • A 14-year-old Appaloosa mare presented with a 10x8x6 cm ovarian neoplasm.
    • The mare exhibited marked behavioral changes, including aggression towards other horses, for two years prior to diagnosis.

    Findings:

    • Histological examination confirmed the ovarian neoplasm as an arrhenoblastoma.
    • Preoperative endocrinological assessment revealed elevated serum testosterone and decreased serum estradiol concentrations, consistent with the tumor type.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of considering hormonal imbalances in mares with behavioral abnormalities.
    • Surgical removal of ovarian arrhenoblastomas can resolve clinical signs and normalize hormone levels in affected horses.
    • Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for managing equine ovarian neoplasms and associated endocrine disruptions.
